Griffiths
will conduct formal interviews with the children’s parents
and siblings, teachers and peers, and all those people who have
played or continue to play a significant role in the lives of
Eric, Courtney, and Jon. This effort will result in the careful
pairing of quotes with photographs, which together will convey
the ordinary stories of these extra-ordinary children.
The
result will be a major exhibit of the photographs, coupled with
the publication of a companion book. It is this book which will
incorporate the children into the larger community, making them
visible in a society where they are often over-looked or marginalized.
It will serve as a tribute to these and all families who negotiate
this challenge and this gift which is their extra-ordinary child,
so that those who view the photographs and read the quotes may be
educated, strengthened, and uplifted by their stories.
